    Welcome to tonight’s #ProDriven chat. I am excited to moderate tonight's chat on getting #personalizedPD to take flight in your district. Tonight's travels will use the Q1/A1 format. Let's get started! Q1: Introduce yourself and your departure location.

    We are going to travel through getting your journey to take flight! We will start with booking your flight with a travel agent. Q2: How can you sell the idea of a #ProDriven journey to the stakeholders in your district?

    A2: we have found it to be a balance of autonomy (for teachers) and accountability is important to administrators #ProDriven
  • bkulak11 Oct 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A2: Honestly, it sells itself. Once we carve away the first layer of Twittxiety ™️, folks come to the yard. #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Do the teachers get to pick their own action research? #ProDriven
    In reply to @MrsStephenson3
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A2: One selling point I make is the Sharing Phase. When you have educators in your district sharing their great journeys OUTSIDE your district, that is just good PR for your district. #ProDriven
    In reply to @chillmanisu
  • rchids Oct 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A2: I’m not interested in “selling” but I would certainly start with the personal and professional benefits. For those that aren’t interested in “buying”, I would love to hear their reasons why and see if their needs could be met. #ProDriven

    As I teach my colleagues how to twitter chat, I'd love to know how to pronounce *Twittxiety* #ProDriven
    In reply to @bkulak11
  • MrsStephenson3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    yes, it is just part of the cycle of personalized pd. They pick the topic from a list of many and can work in groups or on their own to research, integrate, action research, reflect and share at our edcamp in May #ProDriven

  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Oct 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    thank you 😊 unfortunately it's been difficult to join, but I wanted to pop in at least ... one of my favorite chats #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3, @chillmanisu
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: Another selling point is…if you have educators that wish to seek further learning, but have sound reasoning based on positive effects on learner outcomes, it makes it easier to justify spending PD to send educators to conferences. Buying vs. Shopping. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Well, we love having you here :) #ProDriven
    In reply to @MrsBarnett_Tchr, @chillmanisu
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Q3: Packing for a trip is so important and deciding which luggage you should take. What pieces of luggage "platforms" do we need to have to make sure the #ProDriven journey goes well?
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    I struggled with that one too :) #ProDriven
    In reply to @MsCzernicki, @bkulak11
  • JackiKooistra Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2)Offer the opportunity of choice and time, allowing staff to explore areas of interest. Gather feedback for coaches and guides to provide personalized PD for staff. Rinse and repeat. #voiceandchoice #ProDriven
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    this is a really nice infographic for this #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3, @chillmanisu
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    I second that! #ProDriven
  • MsCzernicki Oct 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2--I love this question. I wonder what stakeholders would do if they knew about what Ts wish they had the time + resources to do in their classrooms. Get Ts to share their would-be goals + aims. Stakeholders need to hear what's possible #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Couldn't agree more - great selling point! #ProDriven
    In reply to @JackiKooistra
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Oct 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A3: the learning about what is out there - too many times I hear "I don't know, what I don't know" - a lot of educators don't even know what to ask for #ProDriven
    In reply to @chillmanisu
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A3: I’ve seen schools use a variety of platforms. Any LMS could do, or I also like building a quick website. But you have to have some kind of “central hub” to house all #PersonalizedPD for the educators w/in the district. #ProDriven

  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    I agree - teachers need time and support to research the things they need in their classroom. #ProDriven is a great structure that allows for all of it to happen.

    A2: when it comes to art, it’s getting them to make time and come into our classrooms to see the magic that’s happening. A final artwork doesn’t speak to the volumes of learning that occurs on the path to get there #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    Since we have packed our bags, we are getting ready to go to the airport next. Get ready for question 4. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    Sharing our journeys is important! That’s why I also encourage educators who complete a journey to share it here -> https://www.professionallydriven. com/pd-journeys There are a few in the chat RIGHT NOW! #ProDriven
    In reply to @PreK33, @chillmanisu
  • bkulak11 Oct 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A3: I like a light blog (I know a guy 😉), maybe a heavier book like @JayBilly2’s Lead With Culture, and a slew of edu hashtags, just to be safe. #ProDriven

  • MsCzernicki Oct 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A3-- Using google classroom to house T goals and steps -- it's not fancy, but it's also a familiar platform for Ts. Updates make it user friendly for admin and Ts. Takes out a hurdle for learning a new system #ProDriven

    NICE! Check this out! #ProDriven

    A3)We utilize Canvas for our personalized learning journey-"Climbing the Mountain" in addition to other courses, book studies, and as a library for mini 5 min. PD "sparks." We have the support of in-house guides, coaches and models, plus offering outside learning. #ProDriven

    A4 let go of what you think you *should* focus on and trust your gut and passion. Can't get strong student output w/o passionate T input #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    However, going from Fixed to Growth does not work like a light switch. It has incremental steps. #ProDriven
    In reply to @MrsBarnett_Tchr, @MrsStephenson3
  • JackiKooistra Oct 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A4) People need to live with the fail forward mentality and rid themselves of insecurities, fixed mindsets, and fallacies. Growth is not a sign of current weakness. #ProDriven
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Oct 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Yep! that's what makes it so difficult - being positive and having an open door doesn't encourage everyone #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3, @MrsStephenson3
  • MrsStephenson3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    yes, and everyone on a staff is usually on those steps at different times. #ProDriven

    We have passed security and are ready to meet the flight crew. A5: Who are the crew members that are essential in making this flight happen? Who becomes the gate attendants, pilots, the ground crew, and the flight attendants in the #ProDriven journey?

    A4: I think you have to be willing to leave behind some of your “valuables” in order to best meet the needs for your students. They may treasure to you... but maybe it’s time to let go. #ProDriven

  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

  • MsCzernicki Oct 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A4--Need admin to be in the air traffic control position. Ts need to feel protected to take risks, fail, start over, and try again. If one path doesn't work, they to know it's okay to start over, try a new path--no crash landings w/ competent ATC #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A5: I hope EVERYONE has a role. No one can be passive learners. Anyone could essentially play any of those roles, but it really does have to be admin who says, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re ready for take-off.” #ProDriven
    • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A5: IMO, the ground crew is the admin and tech department to make sure everything is done well in the background. Instructional Coaches are the flight attendants and pilots are the teachers. #ProDriven
  • heARTISTatWORK Oct 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A5:the crew is made up of you and the Ss!Find out who has what strengths and hire them for the appropriate positions. I feel that the teacher is the plane itself,houses everyone and everythingbut allows the team to take flight, always there supporting and guiding #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    Interesting - I agree now that admin probably needs to be the pilot. Like the way you put that! #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3
  • MrsStephenson3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A5: I would like to be the flight attendant as the instructional coach. I think PLCs are the ground crew, when a PLC can take learning and integrate it together. #ProDriven

  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT
    I have discovered that it does take a current culture that has established trust among the adult learners AND one that promotes failing forward for the #ProDriven model to really take flight. Otherwise, the plane will taxi, but wheels won’t get off the ground. #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

    A5)The learner is the pilot, with help several other people taking on various roles to help them take off and land successfully. Remember the pilot is in charge of the growth but the reward of the new destination is about the passengers (students). #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    Ready to board the plane now? Prior to takeoff, gate attendants will announce the boarding time. Q6: What are some ways to announce a district wide #ProDriven journey to the passengers?
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    If you’re enjoying tonight’s chat, we are looking for guest moderators for this coming month (or even later dates). We’d love to have you lead a #ProDriven chat :) Just talk with me, @MegFrideres, or @MrsStephenson3 if you’re interested. #ProDriven

    Amen to this. Too often people proclaim the importance and necessity of trust and failing forward but their actions are not congruent with their words. #ProDriven

    I would LOVE to join any district that is trying to plan or kick-off the #ProDriven model! #ProDriven

    A6: I’d ask the students for ideas! I see the passengers as being the admin and head honchos so what would the crew want to do to make the flight enjoyable fun and memorable #ProDriven
  • MsCzernicki Oct 30 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A6 -- If this were my school (and oh man, I hope it is one day), I'd want to start with brainstorming. Where do you want to go? What do you want to learn more about? Where do you see your practice go from where it is now? What will you need? #ProDriven
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    The piece that really inspired me was choice. I felt a high level of respect from admin believing I could choose my PD #ProDriven
    • MegFrideres - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT
      A6: Well if the passengers are the students as @JackiKooistra mentioned then we are modeling life long learning to them. awesome! #ProDriven
      • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:34 PM EDT
        Ready to board the plane now? Prior to takeoff, gate attendants will announce the boarding time. Q6: What are some ways to announce a district wide #ProDriven journey to the passengers?
  • rchids Oct 30 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    Which brings me back to “selling” and “buying”. I’m going to invest my time in learning where I feel like my roi will be benefitial - this includes success and failures. #ProDriven

    Teaser = is all about why #personalizedPD provides more that traditional PD. Like a movie trailer. Reveal = Reveal the central hub and what the phases look like. Kick-Off= Reviewing model, discuss the equation below, and go thru the strengths & weaknesses convo. #ProDriven

    A7: have a game plan, a trial run...make sure yourself confident and excited for the trip so the student crew is too! #ProDriven

    Fantastic ways to kick this off! Wish we would have done this a little better. #ProDriven

    A7: Have things as organized as possible on the back end of things to remove any debris in the cabin or outside of the plane. #ProDriven
  • rchids Oct 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A7: it helps to have a confident/experienced pilot at the helm. This means that I may have to tap people on the shoulder and ask them to fly a bunch of us to a wonderful destination! #ProDriven
    In reply to @chillmanisu
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A7: I would also make sure the proper lines of comm. between coaches, admin, and teachers are established. Any miscommunication, or if people do know who to go to with questions, then people get frustrated. When people get frustrated, then want to go back to before. #ProDriven
  • MrLillquist Oct 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT

    During the flight, flight attendants must conduct regular safety checks and listen for unusual noises. Q8: What are some things you need to look for to make sure to avoid turbulence during the #ProDriven journey?
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    I have helped a couple schools kick-off year two with the strengths and weaknesses convo since we didn’t do that last year. It really does help some “Zoo Tigers” step out of their cages -> https://t.co/xGrAF2o9Uj #ProDriven

    A7: Ensure everyone understands the purpose--why PDPD is the best fit. Plan designated spaces for learning. Be consistent with how, when, and where. Mean what you say--keep the time sacred. #ProDriven

  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A8: As people are working through their journey, I think we need to also pay attention to when the engine seems to die and people aren't moving forward. Coaching conversations seem to work well for this! #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    Could not agree more with this! #ProDriven

    A7)Having a plan to successfully arrive at your destination, while also knowing the safety measures in place for when obstacles arise. Knowing that sometimes we have to be flexible as our path may need to be rerouted around from turbulence. #ProDriven
  • heARTISTatWORK Oct 30 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A8: as educators I think we are constantly proactively keeping our eyes peeled for potential pit falls, so to think one step ahead, have a back up plan or be willing to change course mid flight. #ProDriven
  • KerrieWillis1 Oct 30 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A8: Is there designated time for reflection? Are coaches making time to follow-up with teachers one-on-one? We gave Jarod's survey when we started, so people knew what targets we're trying to hit. We'll ask for feedback again in January and in May, then respond. #ProDriven

    Q8: If some school districts are experiencing turbulence, I have created the IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT SURVEY that can help any school evaluate their journey. Found on my FREE printable resources page -> https://t.co/YtjcbFeCWk #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Being from Iowa, we are no strangers to flights getting rerouted, delayed or cancelled because of weather. Q9: What happens if your #ProDriven journey takes you in a different direction than your original destination?

    ...could not agree more. ...could not say it any better. :-) #ProDriven
    • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT
      I have discovered that it does take a current culture that has established trust among the adult learners AND one that promotes failing forward for the #ProDriven model to really take flight. Otherwise, the plane will taxi, but wheels won’t get off the ground. #ProDriven
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    I couldn't agree more with this Meg. I think it gives a clearer picture and allows all of the teachers to see coaches and admin in the trenches with them too when they go on their own journey. #ProDriven
    In reply to @MegFrideres
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    I agree, but I have had some educators feel they can “sprint up Everest” sorta speak. They were focused on final product, not process. #ProDriven

    A8) A pre-planning conversation with a coach! PLCs to share ideas as you are planning. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    Q9: I’ve seen this happen many times. Just recognize it’s part of the process. On our learning journeys, we need to emphasize PROCESS over final product. #ProDriven

    A9: I think we need to embrace the change in the journey as long as we are still meeting the overall objectives of impacting student learning. It is part of the process! #ProDriven
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A9: I call that discovery. We encourage it in our students and should be open to experience it ourselves. #ProDriven

    A9) Breathe. Chocolate. Coach, tech, model, admin, neighbor to reflect and bounce ideas off. #ProDriven
  • KerrieWillis1 Oct 30 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A4: Get rid of... ...worrying about one or two people who may not buy in. They weren't buying in to trad. PD anyway. ...thinking everyone has to learn the same thing, in the same way. #ProDriven
    • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT
      Q4: Know what you can pack in your carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at the airport and going through security. What are some things you need to get rid of before going on a #ProDriven journey?
  • chillmanisu Oct 30 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    Ready to land this plane...Remember once you arrive at your destination, your #ProDriven journey is not complete. Q10: How do we encourage our passengers to share their experiences with others?

    A10: Encourage them to share in non-traditional ways. Many are intimidated or scared to present at large conferences. Blogging and video reflections have been popular amongst our teachers #ProDriven
  • MrLillquist Oct 30 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A9: ...you absolutely ROLL with it. Instead of asking, “Ugh, why this?!” Ask yourself: “Hmm, interesting. I wonder where this will take me instead?” #ProDriven

  • KerrieWillis1 Oct 30 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A9: People keep refining their problems of practice; or they follow the call when they arrive at the fork in the road; and they re-consider what they are learning in the context of their current students. Priorities and needs change, and so does the learning. #ProDriven
